To help students see what’s possible beyond the classroom, ChildFund Philippines partnered with Canva Philippines and Gems Heart Outreach Development Inc. to bring Career Spark Day to life, an immersive learning experience designed to spark curiosity and ambition in young minds.
On May 6, students from our partner Junior and Senior High Schools in Manila stepped into Canva’s creative headquarters for a rare look inside the world of tech and design. For many, it was their first time in a professional office. The experience gave them a chance to explore career paths they may not have considered before and to imagine themselves in spaces they didn’t always see as accessible.
Throughout the day, students met professionals working in design, marketing, product development, and more. They asked questions, explored the workspace, and got hands-on with Canva’s creative tools. The highlight: a personal vision board activity where students visualized who they want to be ten years from now. Each board told a story of hope, growth, and possibility.
Career Spark Day is part of our broader commitment to help children and youth build the skills, confidence, and exposure they need to take charge of their own future. When young people are given opportunities to step outside their daily routines and imagine something bigger, it can shift how they see themselves and what they believe they can become.
This is how we build momentum. One meaningful experience at a time.
